I work in cyber security for a U.S. tech company. Seniority wise I'm EL2 equivalent, but I'm earning the equivalent of SES Band 2 money.

For various long term career reasons, I am considering a move to a technical EL2 position at a Cth agency.

I'm ok with a pay cut, within reason -- top of the band at this agency would be ok, bottom of the band would not.

What's the story on the ground with pay negotiations these days -- are agencies typically happy to bump people to the top of the band on this basis, or do they tend to be reluctant to do so?

I've got a AIR-AP2702E-UXK9 running in autonomous mode, which used to be a good 802.11ac AP, but now it is an ok 2.4GHz only 802.11 AP. It keeps losing prime, for no reason.

I'm about ready throw it into the trash where it belongs (along with whoever made that design decision), but is there any trick to keeping these things up and on the air with the correct region?
